Made to be kept.

Printing, binding and packaging in Karachi since 1960.

Leatherette jewellery box with hinged mirrored lid and four suede-lined drawers, opened at a three-quarter angle, made in Karachi

We don't outsource the difficult part.

Binding and box making both happen on our own floor on I.I. Chundrigar Road. Sewn, wrapped, foiled and fitted by the same hands, in the same building, since 1960.

07How a box is made

01

Board, cut and scored

Greyboard between 1.5 and 3mm, cut square and scored on the fold lines so the walls stand true.

02

Folded and wrapped

Walls come up and the wrap is pasted, turned in fifteen millimetres and mitred at every corner by hand.

03

Lined and fitted

Suede lining goes in, then a die-cut insert made to your product rather than to a stock size.

04

Lid on, mark struck

The lid is fitted to a half-millimetre, and your mark is struck in foil from a brass die.
